It's interesting that you bring up the openness of the web and the walled garden of apps. Our goal is to break down those barriers by enabling people to link into the middle of apps to stitch together native and web experiences.
We see the "HTML5 vs Native App" debate as a separate issue, though, and are instead focused on created the best possible end user experiences for our customers.
- the_watcher 13y agoI agree, I see this more as a way to break down the walls between the app gardens. As a user, I really just care about what experience works best. I could care less if I jump between apps, apps and the web, or between websites.
- Spone 13y agoWhat about linkrot when adla.st is no longer maintained? Imho yhat's the problem of this solution, relying on a third-party (your) domain.
- the_watcher 13y agoWhy would they stop maintaining it? Bit.ly hasn't stopped getting users and it poses the same risks, right?
- Spone 13y agoTons of reasons, actually. Just have a look at URL shorteners... http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=URLTeam#Dead_or_Broken http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=URLTeam#Dead_or_B...
- the_watcher 13y agoGuess I should have been more clear: what risks do they run that aren't already inherent to link shorteners like bit.ly (that are still getting users)?
